Josh Hawley announces he will object to Electoral College certification on Jan 6

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) announced he would object to the certification of the electoral college vote on January 6, becoming the first senator to join House Republicans in the effort. His announcement guaranteed that Congress would be forced to debate and vote on the results, turning a ceremonial proceeding into a political battleground and giving false hope to Trump supporters that the outcome could be overturned.
